Oh and there is anotherone I saw today thats even ruder.
Anyone else see it?
Adding to the list of media outlets in the tank for Obama, while Rolling Stone is no suprise, the fact that there has been nary a mention of this abhorrent cartoon in the MSM press is telling....

McCain was a POW and suffered pain far beyond what you or I could even imagine. To poke any fun at that whatsoever is sick, vile and disgusting. Do they have a right to print it, of course they do. But I have the right to tell it how it is, and it is shameful. Anyone who finds humor in that cartoon doesn't have one ounce of decency.

As teens we had RS, High Times & The Fabulous Furry Freak Brother's, it was the 70's, it was gnarly, it was good times.
